For Paula, the difficulty getting in and out of the tub was real.
After a recent hip replacement, Paula discovered that her daily routine had become a real hazard.  Standing in the shower was painful, and climbing out of her deep Jacuzzi tub was impossible without help.  Independence—something she’d always valued—suddenly felt out of reach.  Like many Colorado homeowners planning to age in place, Paula needed a bathing solution that restored safety, comfort, and dignity without forcing her to give up the home she loved.


Paula’s hesitation wasn’t about wanting luxury, it was about making a smart investment while recovering from major surgery. Recently retired and living on a fixed income, she understood the importance of choosing carefully. A hospital stay and upcoming move already stretched her finances, so affordability and clarity mattered. When she met with HomePride, an open conversation about payment options and transparent pricing gave her confidence. With clear financing terms and no surprises, she realized safety and independence were well within reach.
Paula wasn’t chasing upgrades; she was fighting for her independence. After a hip replacement, she could no longer use her shower or step into her deep Jacuzzi tub without risk. What she truly wanted was simple: to bathe safely, comfortably, and on her own terms. She envisioned a space that restored her confidence, reduced pain, and helped her age gracefully in the home she loved. She wanted a brand she trusted. She wanted Kohler.
By partnering with HomePride, Paula found a solution that checked every box—without compromising quality or peace of mind. Together with her designer, she chose a Kohler Walk-In Bath in a warm biscuit finish, complete with hydrotherapy jets, heated surfaces, and ADA-height comfort features. Financing made it attainable, and HomePride’s transparency made it stress-free. Today, Paula can bathe safely and independently, turning what began as a necessity into a lasting investment in her comfort and well-being.
HomePride Bath successfully installed a Kohler Walk-In Bath, turning Paula’s outdated hall bathroom into a safe, spa-like retreat designed for comfort and healing.
Her new remodel, which included a Kohler walk-in tub, toilet, shower wall panels, and window trim for a new custom window, now gives her the freedom to bathe safely and independently, with the added comfort of soothing hydrotherapy and heated surfaces.
Backed by Kohler’s limited lifetime warranty and HomePride’s professional installation, Paula’s remodel delivered lasting beauty, value, affordability, and the confidence to stay in the home she loves—on her own terms.

Here are a few photos of Paula’s remodel, which included her new walk-in bath, LuxStone shower walls, toilet, and window trim to assist with her limited mobility, all while planning for her future needs.
Paula was already facing limited mobility, and she knew waiting until after a fall would mean higher costs and greater risks. By choosing to remodel proactively, she invested in safety and independence today. Avoiding the far greater expense of post-accident care tomorrow.
